Hear are all my outfits hung up so they don't get creased and protected with covers in each of the bags are the accessories and shoes for each of the outfits.

Outfit for the sin wrath laid out with all accessories and props. I did this so I could see how each of the outfits was going to look and to check that I had everything for it. For this outfit i chose a dark red dress to represent an angry, fiery personality. Black thorn roses and dark black accessories set quite a dark mood slightly Gothic. I have tried to keep all my outfits quite luxurious to be in keeping with my chosen designer Dior ( especially from the early period of the couture House).I have found long gloves and where possible costume jewellery of the 1950's to complement the outfits. To make the look more contemporary i will have more extreme hair and makeup, this has been inspired by John Galliano collections from spring 2008 runway collection and his 2007 spring couture collections.


Outfit for the sin Avarice, for this sin i have chosen a gold dress to represent wealth and riches luxurious fur with gold leaves and money. This vintage dress is made of gold velvet it is a simple design with a full skirt that I will add volume to, like a Dior silhouette, using a hooped underskirt.


For the sin vanity i have chosen a purple dress with sparkly diamond pieces to show beauty i have brought vintage vanity mirrors. I have sourced most of the dresses and accessories from e-bay and from vintage shops like beau, clobber and bows & bells.This dress has a contoured fit, tight and figure hugging until it forms a mermaids tail train.




Outfit for the sin sloth. I have chosen a light blue dress as i think of sloth being a relaxed mellow colour. Accessories white in soft fabrics for example the feather bower for her to snuggle into and be in a sleepy dream world. This original blue satin 1950's dress was won on e-bay. I was very pleased with the dress design as it has the Dior New Look, with a tight waist and very full skirt.





Outfit for the sin lust. I wanted the outfit for lust to be more reveling as if she is trying to seduce someone. For this i have chosen the colour red and teamed it with a few black accessories. I've used a corset to show the feminine figure.I may use a
short black skirt on top of the short red petticoat to add more colour contrast.




Outfit for the sin envy I brought this green dress from a vintage shop. I was pleased with the dark rich colour of the dress.I have teamed it up with black accessories to enhance the feeling of envy. I was pleased with the pointed toe shoes, these are more in keeping with the dress and the theme. The ivy will be used to wrap around her shoulders and I may put ivy in her hair.







Outfit for the sin gluttony. I was pleased to find this dress in a vintage shop, I like the Dior style with tight waist and full skirt. I have petticoats to exaggerate the fullness of the skirt. The dress is in silk and I have teamed it with ivory accessories and matching pink shoes. I have bought a huge strawberry gateaux from Iceland that I will use during the photo shoot as a prop for gluttony
